I am reading "Multidimensional Real Analysis I: Differentiation" by J. J. Duistermaat and J. A. C. Kolk ...

I am focused on Chapter 2: Differentiation ... ...

I need help with an aspect of the proof of Proposition 2.2.9 ... ...

Duistermaat and Kolk's Proposition 2.2.9 and its proof read as follows:

In the above text D&K state that Lemma 1.1.7 (iv) implies Proposition 2.2.9 ...

Can someone please indicate how/why ths is the case ...

Lemma 1.1.7 (iv): Let D be an open set in R^n, let f: D -> R^m be a continuously differentiable function and let x be an interior point of D. Suppose that the partial derivatives of f exist at x and are continuous in a neighbourhood of x. Then there is a neighbourhood U of x such that f is a local diffeomorphism on U; i.e., for all y in U, the derivative of f at y has rank m.===========================================================================================To answer Peter's question, we can see from Lemma 1.1.7 (iv) that if the partial derivatives of f exist at x and are continuous in a neighbourhood of x, then there is a neighbourhood U of x such that f is a local diffeomorphism on U. This is exactly what D&K state in Proposition 2.2.9, which is that if the partial derivatives of f exist at x and are continuous in a neighbourhood of x, then f is a local diffeomorphism. Therefore, Lemma 1.1.7 (iv) implies Proposition 2.2.9.
